My advice: I'd pay someone to do it bethany, far less chance of a redflag if someone who knows what they're doing fills it in for you. Tax returns for this type of thing (that aren't mega-complicating, but enough to give one a serious headache) will probably only be about £100-200.

Chez2 10 #3 Posted March 29, 2017 How can it be a red flag if its legitimate? Good advice above. We use an accountant to advise if we have entered everything under the correct category in our accounts and what can and can't be claimed as expenses and the implications of the various options.
